![]() This document also details how to use the PC's Hyper Terminal to configure and monitor a router. This document explains the correct settings to apply when you connect a PC to a router's console port. if you Google "getting garbage characters when using cisco console cable" you will get return searches from Cisco's website say that most of the console ports on there routers and the console cables only support up to 9600 baud data rate.some newer routers goto 36000+ but they say you should set the default to 9600 first and go from there. I too was getting garbage characters untill I changed the baud rate on the serial adapter to 9600. I decided to RTFM (go figure) and the FM pointed to using "Serial/Modem" as the correct setting. I was trying "Serial/Direct" but that never worked. This last option is what threw me for a little. Give the connection a title, keep the "Connect to" option blank, set the reconnect option to "Plain connection (no retry if failed)", set the emulation to VT100, and set the Device to "Serial/Modem". Go to Host Directory in Zoc and click on New. In my case, I am connecting to a Cisco Video Communications Server (VCS) so, some of the configuration parameters I show in the following screenshots are specific to the VCS. If you use Zoc, then here is the procedure for using the IOGear (or I suppose any device that uses the PL-2303 driver). It is a great app, but that is a blog entry for another day. I use Zoc Pro as a terminal application on my MBP and iMac. I didn't bother modifying the configuration, just click on Apply. In my case I saw a modem driver named "PL2303-". In Network Preferences, you should see the new network connection. ![]() ![]() Neither of these methods worked for me, just an FYI. NOTE: The Prolific install guide (I found it online) said that you should be able to see the USB serial interface using System Profile or from the terminal using: ls /dev/tty.usbserial*. If you see this, click on "Network Preferences". When I connected the dongle, I received a prompt from OS X, which stated that a new Network Interface was detected.
